This recipe has also been passed to me by my friend's mother. Studying for CA final exams, I often got very cranky. I have mentioned this before too that I don't like to eat same kind of food repeatedly. Mom would get very annoyed and tired of this habit of mine. One day she rang aunty to make something "different" for me. She immediately sent this lip smacking dish. Not only is this dish packed with Indian flavours but it's healthy too. Steamed dumplings are cooled and then stir-fried in a wok with spices like cumin, curry leaves, garlic and green chili. You can obviously control the heat factor. If you ask me, I look to have water run down my nose at times!

I don't like gourd. To be honest with you, I hardly eat it. But I quite enjoy it when it is disguised as kofta kadhi, lauki parantha and this Lauki muthiya. This healthy dish comes together easily and makes for a great starter/ snack/ braekfast. You can even think of it to be Indian style manchurian which is steamed and not fried. Spiced with garlic and green chilli, this dish tastes wonderful with good prominence of fennel seeds and curry leaves in it.

Spicy Indian dumplings which are easy to make and healthy. Serve it for breakfast, evening snack and even as an appetizer for guests.
